Description:
------------
Using new MacBook Pro, Mac OS 10.4.5, Dev Tools 2.2.1, I can't 
build pear because of install failure. Have tried doing a 
direct install of pear with same result. Same configuration 
works fine with a PowerPC Mac using same OS, dev tools and 
build script.

Reproduce code:
---------------
Run the following build script from within the php source directory as root:

#! /bin/bash
#install script for php
 make clean 

./configure  \
--prefix=/usr \
--with-xml \
--with-zlib \
--with-apxs \
--enable-debug

make
make install


Expected result:
----------------
Build to work.

Actual result:
--------------

I tried to get a core dump, but was not able to. No core was 
produced.

Thank you for this bug report. To properly diagnose the problem, we
need a backtrace to see what is happening behind the scenes. To
find out how to generate a backtrace, please read
http://bugs.php.net/bugs-generating-backtrace.php for *NIX and
http://bugs.php.net/bugs-generating-backtrace-win32.php for Win32

Once you have generated a backtrace, please submit it to this bug
report and change the status back to "Open". Thank you for helping
us make PHP better.

Here are the results of following the posted backtrace 
directions:

That's a very odd-looking backtrace.  Doesn't appear to be a PHP problem but rather a problem in the toolchain somewhere.  I think you'll have to send me your MacBook Pro so I can get to the bottom of it.

Well, your not going to get my MacBook, but I will try to 
get whatever info you need.

This MacBook was configured by doing the following:
-Wipe out hard drive
-Clean install of Mac OS X 10.4.4 from bundled CD
-Update all to 10.4.5
-Install XTools 2.2.1

The XTools release note says it is a complete build system, 
but perhaps that isn't true.

The cpu_capabilities.h file is in the following locations:

/Developer/SDKs/MacOSX10.3.9.sdk/System/Library/Frameworks/
Kernel.framework/Versions/A/Headers/i386/cpu_capabilities.h
/Developer/SDKs/MacOSX10.3.9.sdk/System/Library/Frameworks/
Kernel.framework/Versions/A/Headers/machine/
cpu_capabilities.h
/Developer/SDKs/MacOSX10.3.9.sdk/System/Library/Frameworks/
Kernel.framework/Versions/A/Headers/ppc/cpu_capabilities.h

The /System/Library/Frameworks/System.framework/ directory 
has the following in it:

Resources       System          Versions

There is no PrivateHeaders directory here. I suspect whoever 
is maintaining PHP on the Mac has some legacy frameworks 
installed that are not included in 2.2.1, but that perhaps 
are not removed either, and the maintainer is relying on 
those old frameworks. The 10.4 SDK apparently does not 
include cpu_capabilities.h.
 [2006-03-18 02:01 UTC] shannon at handshigh dot com 
Never mind. Changing:

make clean

to:

make distclean

Fixed it. Looks like the stock OS is shipped with some 
libraries that were not getting deleted during the install 
phase, and these libraries interacted with old Frameworks. 
Something like that.
